The Best Thing I Never Had

Lyrics
Shadow puppets on the wall Wondering if I ever knew your true face at all And all I have is a box of broken memories And all I have is an incomplete collection of CDs And it's Emmy the Great and Fleetwood Mac It's way too late for looking back at that And Johnny Flynn and Bon Iver and all the things we never really were And even though I'll use the wintertime to hide I'll come out on the other side And I grieve what never was alive 'Cause nothing ever hurt so bad But you're the best thing that I've ever nearly had And I was never any good at keeping the hurt hidden I asked you not to call but I was f**king gutted when you didn't And it's Christy Moore and it's Steve Earle and Dancing to the Galway Girl all night And it's Jimmy and Blink and all the small things Late at night a lover sings for what And even though I'll use the wintertime to hide I'll come out on the other side And I grieve what never lived or died And the thing that really makes me sad Is you're the best thing that I never really had Is you're the best thing that I never really had Is you're the best thing that I've ever nearly had
